comic strips

If you somehow have not found your way to the ultra cool arts and design focused library/book store Heavy Manners Library in Echo Park in LA, there’s a really great reason to go (on top of just going to check out a hidden Eastside gem) come Sat. Oct. 1st.

Heavy Manners will be hosting the Heavy Manners Comics Fair, which will be showcasing 14 different local to LA cartoonists and all their wares.

A day long book fair featuring 14 local cartoonists at Heavy Manners Library in Echo Park, many featured in their lovely monthly show, Comics O’Clock where cartoonists read their comic strips aloud, live in person.
